Appendix 9 - Scope of Work Attachment I - Table A (List of Tests) 08-24-2026.xlsx

This is a Scope of Work attachment for a Multi-Step Invitation for Bids (MS-IFB) issued by the State of Maryland's State Highway Administration (SHA) for materials laboratory testing services under contract MLT 2032-01. The scope defines a comprehensive list of accredited laboratory tests across five primary categories: Hot Mix Asphalt (15 tests), Portland Cement Concrete (17 tests), Soils (20 tests), Aggregates (13 tests), and Sample Transportation services. The testing requirements specify the number of accredited labs needed for each test, with most standard tests requiring two accredited laboratories and specialty tests requiring one. Turnaround times vary significantly by test category, ranging from three calendar days for basic Hot Mix Asphalt tests to 28 calendar days for most Soils and Aggregates testing, with specialty tests requiring up to ten calendar days. Hot Mix Asphalt specialty tests (items 1010-1015) and Portland Cement Concrete Type III testing (items 2012-2017) each form distinct test series, while rush sample options are available for Soils testing at ten and fourteen-day turnaround intervals.

The file does not provide pricing terms, set-aside information, incumbent contractor details, funding amounts, or contract award dates. The document focuses exclusively on defining the technical testing requirements and performance standards that qualified contractors must be capable of delivering. Sample transportation services are included as a line item with daily statewide pickup and delivery requirements. Bidders must demonstrate accreditation capability for the specified test methods and meet the defined turnaround time commitments across the various material testing disciplines to be considered for contract award.
